The major reason they have problems is the difference between
distributions. For example - those that use the /opt directory need
either a separate partition for it or a very large / partition whereas
those that put software under /usr etc can get away with a small one.
SO yes, a talk on partitioning would be useful as long as it is NOT
hijacked by the poor deluded Debian junkies ;-P
A talk on the GIMP would also be useful.
Stay well and happy
